Saturday saw us play host to our first 'Silk Painting and Dyeing' Workshop!
Awakening to a frosty morning here at 'Nest', I was hoping our trusty wood heater would do the trick and heat up the gallery enough to reach to the workshop space! It did quite well ... and the ladies were so busy dyeing up a storm that the weather was of no importance!
The tutor, Sue Jurd, took the students through the process of mixing the dyes, melting the wax and showing them various techniques to create different effects on their silk. Each student finished up with four scarves, each demonstrating a different method of dyeing or painting silk.
Some of the results are in the images above.
The workshop was such a success, that we have already filled a second workshop to run in October. We may consider a third, so if you're interested, please email me at emma@nestgallery.com.au.
